Accompanying the letter was a copy of
circular, with great, glaring headlines,
distributed by 'War Cloud, chief of the
KaWs," and his pale-faced pal "of Brady,
Tex" This circular, minus the head
lines, reads as follows:

Having no knowledge Of the men who
were representing Texas and gathering
in the shekels of charitable people In
other states, THE GAZETTE set inquiries
on foot in the interest Of North Carolina
as we'll as our own state, and, although
the libel law here would not protect us
from the annoyance and expense of q
damage suit, we shall do, nevertheless,
what we conceive to be our duty to
Texas and to the good people who are De-
ing fleeced by a pair of impostors. In
response to inquiries made, THE GAZETTE
received the following letters, the first
being written by an official of the general
government:
